Amid all the charges and countercharges in Washington over the government shutdown, there is at least one common theme: Barack Obamas various charges always lead to a dead end. They are chaos, and chaos is hard to understand, much less refute.
By that I mean when the president takes up a line of argument against his opponents, it cannot really be taken seriously not just because it is usually not factual, but also because it always contradicts positions that Obama himself has taken earlier or things he has previously asserted. Whom to believe Obama 1.0, Obama 2.0, or Obama 3.0?

Unfortunately, half the people in Barack's fiefdom can't remember past the last Superbowl game and can't look forward past their next gubbamint check. But they all vote, whether they leave their dwelling or not.

Bobby, they even vote without leaving Holy Sepulchre. Several times.

Obama keeps shifting positions? Maybe its because his beliefs are based on what horse manure he thinks people will buy and not on sound beliefs based on our Constitution (which he swore to uphold). Our emperor has feet of clay and no clothes.

The regime can't tell us how many have signed up for Obamacare, but they DID tell us this morning that Social Security checks may be endangered due to the looming fiscal problem. I suppose they are referring to the Social Security dollars we've paid into for 50+ years formerly referred to as..... "insurance".

Silly rabbit. Swearing (that kind) is so, like, Victorian. People like you shouldn't even vote, just stay home and read Gertrude Himmelfarb or something. I bet you can't even twerk.
[Dawn] IMAGINE: you've just been mugged on a quiet street on a desolate afternoon in your neighbourhood by four men who stole your money and then stabbed or shot you for good measure.
You're admitted to hospital, where doctors operate on your wounds. But when it comes time to having the robbers placed in durance vile Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! and sent to court, the police refuse to register the crime, while the judge won't believe that anything happened to you because nobody witnessed the crime. Your scars are worth nothing in court, your doctors' evidence that you were grievously maimed counts for nothing either. Because of a lack of witnesses, your robbers, who you have easily been able to identify, go free.

[Dawn] BY its very nature, democracy carries within it a promise of openness, a celebration of diversity. But democratic Pakistain, on the contrary, is becoming more Orwellian by the day. A report on internet surveillance called Freedom on the Net 2013, conducted by the Digital Rights Foundation Pakistain and Freedom House, assessed cyberspace freedom in 60 countries. Scoring 67 out of 100, Pakistain received a status of 'not free', while Iceland topped the table with a score of six.
The violation of the right to information by limiting content has been under way for some time with scores of websites seen as anti-military, anti-state or anti-Islam getting blocked. There has also been, it seems, an expansion in surveillance activities by government authorities, particularly intelligence agencies. However, there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened... the uploading of the anti-Islam movie trailer on YouTube last year and the Fair Trial Act passed earlier this year to aid terrorism investigations seem to have engendered a perfect storm of censorship and moral policing by government authorities. Not only has the ban on YouTube not been lifted, and more sites been blocked on grounds of 'immorality', PTA is in the process of acquiring more advanced surveillance software than it possesses at present that will make it possible, among other things, to track internet traffic on websites of interest, and trawl through personal chats and email accounts more thoroughly. Although this invasive category of software is ostensibly for the purpose of aiding terrorism investigations, the loose phrasing of the Fair Trial Act 2012 could allow a much broader application of this technology to curb views on politics, religion, morality, etc that may be deemed unacceptable. The right to freedom of speech is already much circumscribed in Pakistain through a combination of society's vigilantism and draconian laws such as those dealing with blasphemy. Given the myriad problems that we are beset with, many of which can be traced to intolerance and bigotry, the last thing the government should be doing is playing Big Brother.

You sure they're talking about Pakistain?
Sounds exactly like Obama's America?
Or at least, the way we're going.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
